Hi All
Thanks for all the work done overnight - for us in India.... Havent
seen all the emails but jumping to the last one....
I strongly agree with the statement below, but the last point
In Brazil, the model is CGI.Br model (for some technical policy issues)
plus Marco Civil (with am exemplary bottom up process of law forming,
which, since it pertains to full fledged public policies is still voted
by people's representative alone)..... I think this is a great model and
should be used at other places, and I have often pushed this CGI.Br plus
Macro Civil model in India..
The way it is mentioned is *not* the Brazil model, and it seems to be a
unsubstantiated attempt to extend CGI.Br model to entire realm of
Internet *public policy* making, which isnt there in Brazil, and as far
as I know CGI.Br or any other groups have never demanded such incursion
on rights and mandate of the Brazilain Parliament by CGI.Br. In fact, I
am pretty sure the public of Brazil will reject any such proposal out of
hand.
I would like 4 to amended as follows:
Convey our strong support for the Brazilian multistakeholder model of
Internet governance where a multistakeholder body CGI.Br engages with
logical infrastructure, naming and technical issues pertaining to the
Internet as well as advices the government on larger public policy
issues, and larger public policies pertaining to the Internet are
developed in a bottom-up, inclusive and deliberative manner of how Marco
Civil was developed, before it is voted on by people's representative
bodies. This Brazilian model should be widely adopted included at the
global level.
(This last line is optional.)
This above is the fact in Brazil, and that alone can be supported in
this statement.
Thanks, and best regards
parmidner
